What Lumify Is
Lumify is an over-the-counter redness reliever eye drop from Bausch + Lomb. The active ingredient is brimonidine tartrate 0.025%, a low dose of a medicine that gently narrows the small blood vessels on the surface of the eye to reduce redness. It works in about one minute and lasts up to 8 hours. Because brimonidine works on the veins and at a low dose, clinical trials did not show the rebound redness, where the eye gets redder once the drop wears off, that can come with older redness drops. Lumify relieves redness from minor irritation, but it does not treat the underlying cause.

Where to Buy Lumify
Lumify is available from a few places, and it is fair to say so. You can buy it from large retailers and marketplaces, and you can buy it from Dry Eye Rescue, a specialty eye care retailer. The reason to choose a specialty source is not that it is always the cheapest, it is that the catalog is curated, the products are the ones eye doctors actually refer patients to, and you can pair your purchase with guidance and a way to find a doctor near you.

Comparing Lumify to Other Redness Drops
Older redness drops often use ingredients like tetrahydrozoline or naphazoline, which can lead to rebound redness with regular use. Lumify uses brimonidine at a low dose, which clinical trials found did not cause that rebound effect. If redness keeps coming back, that is a reason to see an eye care professional rather than to use more drops.
Dry Eye Rescue Tip
If you find yourself reaching for redness drops every day, see an eye care professional. Constant redness usually has a cause worth treating, such as dryness or allergy, and a redness drop only covers it up.
Not Sure Which Lumify Is Right?
Redness can come from dryness, allergy, or other causes, and ongoing or painful redness should be checked. Dry Eye Rescue works with a network of over 5,000 eye care professionals who can help. Use the Doctor Locator to find one near you.
